Afghan First: Building a Stable Economy Through Strategic Acquisition

Abstract

The policy called "Afghan First" has been in effect on paper since 2008. However, efforts to implement the policy really began in earnest in late 2009 and early 2010. This policy is part of the larger counterinsurgency (COIN) effort to help Afghans rebuild their country by providing legitimate, sustainable business opportunities to Afghan companies and jobs for Afghan citizens. The Afghan First Policy was first codified in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181, Sections 886, January 2008) and is implemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Subpart 225.77.1
